Barb wants us to Stencil using Foil. Luckily, I have lots of foil and a laminator, but for those who don't have a laminator, there are several ways to add foil without one. Check out the videos on the challenge blog to see some samples.
I played around with foiling a heart, using a die to make the stencil. I placed a card front over top with the same heart shaped aperture, letting the foil show through. I then added the inside design of the heart, die-cut from white card stock. A simple stamped sentiment in black finishes my card. It was so hard to photograph this shimmer and shine. You'll have to trust me that it looks better in real life. :) I'm going to give this to hubby for our 41st anniversary later this month.

I hope you'll come join us and try foiling in a new way.

I love this card Loll .... and I'm sure hubby will too. Those pretty foiled hearts look fab xx
This is so pretty Loll! Loving the heart die you used. I don't have a laminator, but it is on my wish list. I'm sure hubby will love this card for your anniversary! I'm of to go watch how to do foiling without a laminating machine. Cause even with a laminator machine, you need toner black for the foil to stick don't you? Yep, need to go and watch these video's as I know not much! lol Hugs, Brenda
Very pretty, Loll, who doesn't love a little red foil?!!!
Beautiful!! Foil is such a festive addition!! congratulations!! on 41 years : )
Beautiful die, foiling and card, Loll. Gord will love it!
I wished I paced my foils so I could play along. 😕
The red foil peeking through the little heart aperture is so pretty, Loll! And you caught a gorgeous shine of the foil in the close-up pic. I’m sure Gord will love this lovely CAS card. Congratulations of your 41st anniversary! :-)
